Yup. Exactly. Women just enjoy getting what they can't get. It's why the wedding ring effect mostly happens to female. You rarely see men stealing other men's wife. It's always women stealing other women's husband.

Something I don't get about dating and attraction, how can a woman make up her opinion based on looks alone, without even sitting down for a coffee date. This is bizarre, there are too many variables unexamined.
>>
>>34096483
I am not a woman, but I need to be attracted to someone to date them. It is non-negotiable. Being attractive isn't sufficient, hence dating, but it is necessary. Going out for coffee isn't going to make me physically attracted to someone
>>
>>34096545
What is physical attraction?
>>
most women dgaf about looks, more about pErSOnAlItY
I know this because they're not attracted to me from the get go, it's once i austimally share my interests that they begin to warm up to me
this is also why you see hot women with ugly af dudes, it's either their wallet, dick or vibe
>>
why would she date someone she is not attracted to
>>
>>34097082
Because attraction includes behavioral genetics, no?

how do i stop internalizing the bad things people have said about me or done to me?
ive always acted very cocky and overconfident (i cant help it) which has attracted a lot of hate from people , mostly people who dont even know me.
>>
If ur confident why do you care

Or are you actually insecure and faking "overconfidence" to hide it from others
>>
>>34096989
i just come across that way because of the way that i smile and the way that i walk and things. i always act cheerful and freidnly when im talking to people and maybe it comes off as manipulative. im very insecure inside as you can tell
>>
>>34097019
I wouldn't classify that was "cocky" but eh. Just sounds like you're being nice to people (causing you to have more social opportunity in general/more social connections made) and for some reason, others are threatened by that (envious) and want to sabotage you. In that case, tell them to suck it

I just got home from barcelona to visit my moms boyfriends family for christmas. The problem is that his daughter is a weeaboo, and for the first time in a ridiculously long time (maybe the first time in my life) I actually had a pleasant, non-forced conversation with a member of the opposite sex, who I genuinely found interesting.

She has a boyfriend and I'm autistic and a bit chuddy, so it's obviously not going to work out, yet in my mind I can't stop thinking about her.

Yesterday I got a pretty cute girl's number through some rather unusual circumstances. I was at work, she came in as a customer, I ended up having to drive her to her house and back (the job does not typically involve driving customers around) so we got to talk for like 35 minutes, and I found we had pretty similar interests (car things primarily). She mentioned where she works, so later I stopped by there and asked her for her number for shits and giggles. She actually said yes with pretty much zero hesitation. Not like in an outwardly joyous manner, but she didn't seem bothered.
We texted back and forth a bit last night and some today, and she's fun to talk to, but it really feels more like just shooting the shit with a regular guy friend than actually flirting. I don't know if zoomers are just built even more different these days or if she's genuinely just not neurotypical or what. I told her I wanted to hang out and do car stuff, but it's dead fuck middle of winter so nothing is really going on in regards to that. I know I'm supposed to set up some sort of date, but I can't think of any ideas that aren't lame. I've never dated or gotten a girl's number before now. She's 18 and I'm 21. I'd really like to try and have something with this girl, since she's possibly autistic and not quite old enough to be poisoned by many problems plaguing modern women.
I've always wondered what you actually do after getting a girl's number, but I figured it would come naturally. Nah, I have no idea.

>>34094579

just reply with something that gets her to commit to a day and that communicates you look forward to seeing her again. if she is wishy-washy or vague in the response to that, she's not interested and trying to let you down.

it gets easier the more you do it, maybe always a little nerve-wracking from excitement, but you'll get the hang of it the more you do it. just keep being direct and polite, and the results will let you know what else works.

Minimum wage person who started recently to live with his father wants to pay a percentage of their salary in gratitude; knowing I use 50% for needs such as rent, food and transport, what percentage of that fifty should I use?

Have a happy new year /adv/!

>>34090020
Offer like 10% of what you make or an expense like all the power bill, all the water bill, etc. But offer first, it might be he doesn't want you to
>>
>>34090020
>wants to pay a percentage of their salary in gratitude
talk to him and ask him man to man? He probably would just want you to do the chores he's too tired/busy to do around the home or do daily errands instead. You don't have the finances to make a dent like >>34090037 said lets be real.
>started recently to live with his father
your goal from now on should be to be financially literate and responsible- you should be doing everything in your strength to stand on your own so you can get out from under your father. The only thing you can be to not be a drag, is to live on your own. This is the truth. Until then, make his life less of a pain and do what you can to help with his financial and life goals. In short, don't give him grief by staying there- do everything to move out asap. You are old enough.
>>
>>34090020
The question guys, he's asking for a percentage specifically. I would said a 25% of your half income is not bad to be used in needs of the house.
>>
>>34090020
Think the average acceptable is to spend twenty percent for rent so ten would probably be a deal for each of you. You could do something better than fork it. Like talk him into doing a retirement plan so you can cash in later.

Good answer here; you can choose from 10% to 20%, less than that would be meager and more than that, not a good idea.

For some reason I keep craving junk food like burgers or kebab, pizza etc. Some shit food.
>inb4 fat greedy fuck
No, while i occasionally eat crap food, for most of my life I have ate healthy.
Something has happened to my nutrition, like I am at a deficit of something and my body is craving food like this, junk food.
I dont know why.
I am assuming it must be carp or protein but I also do eat enough. Steak, potatoes, rice, fish.
Need some anon who knows more about nutritional information who could help narrow down why my body is craving shit like this.

I think you misunderstand. I dont eat/crave food for pleasure, I eat for sustenance. I am not craving junk food because I want pleasure in eating some trashy food, my body is craving it for nutritional needs.
I am not eating trash food as a luxury or am some greedy fat or lazy person who cant cook a meal.

>>34096932
>Cravings are cravings
No, cravings are simply your body desiring something it needs. its not like an addiction craving where you have physical and mental effects.
My body simply needs something and is lacking some sort of nutritional supplement.

I’m a professional, have a wife and I’m come to the conclusion that all my hobbies and interests are somewhat juvenile.

Every time I start really progressing in my hobby nowadays, I come to the same realization. ‘I’m too old to be doing this’.

My past hobbies are writing music and trying to make video games. However, I’ll be in the moment of doing whatever I’m doing, and just have this crushing feeling that I’m far too old to be sitting around and doing this with my free time.

>just don’t care what other people think

It’s not that simple, my hobbies are a young man’s game. I don’t want to be the old guy at open mic, or wasting my life making a video game that no one else will care about. Obsession is a young man’s endeavor.

I need a new creative hobby. Something I can do for the next 30 years of my life, without feeling guilty or ridiculous doing.

I’m perfectly healthy, so I don’t really have limitations. Besides maybe not being able to afford buying a boat or something.

I’m open to suggestions, preferably something creative. I was thinking about getting into glass blowing.

The greeks believed that some unity between body and mind is the most natural and highest ideal there is.
I would pursue a hobby that keeps your mind and body busy.
Try Rock Climbing, maybe Hiking, Cycling, hit the Gym, take care of your body above all else, then I think some greater options might open up before you.

Anything artistic - drawing, painting, clay/physical model making, digital modelling, photography
I tell people I do drawing and painting and they think it's cool
If you're dog shit at it - just tell people you're learning/just getting into painting and drawing and you're trying to get better - should get you out of having to show it for a bit

I answer this as an autist who has to work with normalfags so "needs" a hobby to present/mask themselves as a normal human being

>Reddit spacing
If this isn't a bot repost, I see no reason why you can't keep making music. Yeah the indie game shit might be a little juvenile but
>I don’t want to be the old guy at open mic
Brother I see old dudes performing venues all the time. Even at screamo shows and shit.
I sympathize with the whole "I'm getting to old for this scene" sentiment. I felt that recently with cosplay and costuming - at the last con I was at I realized I was a 33 year old guy talking to a bunch of kids not even old enough to drink about cartoons made for teenagers. A bit of a different context because I had the generation gap staring right in my face but still I got the feeling of "I'm a grown ass man doing something that kids do."
One question you need to ask yourself is if the hobby still "sparks joy" in you or not. Are you considering giving them up because you're "too old" or because you don't really like them anymore?
>>
>>34094737
>too old to write

What the fuck gave you that idea?

it's a numbers game. you just have to keep engaging people, suggesting things, putting yourself out there, even agreeing to activities you might not like very much, until something/someone sticks.
obviously, if you keep finding yourself on the outside, you might wanna think about what behavior might is putting other people off. it's worth "code switching" as the idiots say or tuning down some aspects of your personality to make yourself more attractive as a friend.

I've had an obssession with Karen Carpenter for nearly 8 years now. And it's just growing day by day. I cannot last a single day without her voice, and often fantasize about her as well as how I could save her in some kind of time machine like Jeff Mangum with Anne Frank. I genuinely am in love with her, her angelic voice, her movement, her manners, her life story etc. I cry to her voice at least once a week, and look at her pics on a regular basis.

fuck I've never fallen in love with anyone as much as her and I've had my fair share girlfriends. I just couldn't help but compare them to Karen. The painful fact remains that she passed away well before my time and I will have to cope with the fact that I will NEVER meet her in this lifetime. I just want to give her a hug and tell her how beautiful she is and how she has a once in a lifetime voice as well as her extraordinary drumming skills.

What should I do? I've had my fair share of obsession with celebs dead or alive, from Shelley Duvall to Carol Kane to Winona Ryder but there's just something about Karen that drives me absolutely insane.

My gf (my first and only gf) told me she had a fuck buddy for more than 2 years who had a bigger dick than me (I asked, idk why). Apparently he didn't even go to her, she went to his house about once or twice a week every single week just to talk a little and get fucked by him.
While she was telling me I could barely breathe as I actually felt like I had a lump in my throat and now I want to kms

I wish I never fucking knew, I wish I had met her before that fucking guy, I wish I could erase my mind.

Please tell me how to actually cope with this, without the usually "just be a man" bullshit.
She's in love with me and I believe that, but her past consists of 4 horrible exes and now a fuckbuddy with a big dick who didn't even have to do shit for her to go over there for him to fuck and cum in her (she was on the pill all the time apparently)
I don't wanna end up kms on fucking christmas

The irony here is actually astonishing. You're getting legitimately mad and hurling insults in a blind nigger rage over another man suggesting women may be lowering their value by having casual sex, and then have the gall to call other men a simp.
>we would all be sexless gooners in perpertuity
Bro I can't think of a bigger gooner mindset than "I love women being whores oh yes let me play in pussy I need cummies I want fuck fuck pussy wonderland yay!"
Absolute WEASELS like you who have no chance of competing for a decent partner advocate for promiscuity because ironically that's YOUR hope for having sex. You are the fucking slave to pussy. You are the one simping and putting your neck on the line for women here. And guess what, buddy boy - they're not gonna fuck you!

Yeah but check around and see if they're just interested in making you a damn cum dumpster or actually getting to know you. Like oh do whatever you want, but I'm gonna unleash my load and forget about you, bye. It's the nightmare women were fucking afraid of. Being a pump and dump. You're gonna be depressed after a while and it'll be a sex addiction like a porn addiction. You may be like, "but for once I'm wanted!" Yeah, by all the wrong men.

I feel like you're gay and an idiot. Dudes have a high sex drive, the arrangement of "pump and dump" is a desired one in many cases, because you can't build the same emotional connection with a dude as you do with a female unless you're truly, truly gay. Like yourself.

How to cope with the clownworld/hellworld God put me in

Lets get this straight, the two most popular religions in the world both say if you don't follow their specific faith, you will burn in hell for all eternity for the mere act of not submitting to their worldview.

I'm forced to work for what other people have from day one of their life and never have to work for, they even rule the economy I live in to add insult to injury

And another thing, if an ambitious white young man kills himself because it's fucking impossible to get a decent woman now let alone afford marriage, nobody bats an eye. But if a deranged grown man larping as a woman offs himself, everybody loses their mind

And people STILL expect me to believe Jesus is coming back

How do I cope with reality. Maybe its a beta onions question but I wanna know how to make sense of all this.
